Dude has a shot, something Noah hasn't heard of yet. He plays average defense for a player that impacts the game only on the offensive end.

Noah would come to mind for defensive purposes. His hype, energy and hustle is all based on his game style. So, actually, a bit off on the comparison, but i'm still going with Yi. Should've been Jianlian or Wright.

We might as well skip all of these filler comparisons and go right for the throat.

Jianlian vs. Bargnani vs. Dirk.

Those are the closest examples of what Jianlian is expected to be like in the NBA....I just hope no one mentions the other two when talking about Yi because he'll never be close to their level.
